Legendary emo band, Sunny Day Real Estate, have teased their first new music in a decade, posting a one-minute snippet of a song on their Instagram. Although the song does not yet have a title and if the band plans to release an LP, it will be their first since 2000’s album ‘The Rising Tide’. The song serves as a soundtrack to a video of an artist drawing the phrase “novum vetus” which is Latin for “everything old is new again” and then sketching a ship at sea. Jeremy Enigk, the frontman of the band, can be heard singing the emotional and powerful verse, “The day we died inside, the world was suffering / 10,000 words collide but no one said a thing / the day we died inside the walls come tumbling down”.
Sunny Day Real Estate are known to be a seminal release in the second wave of emo for their 1994 record ‘Diary’, and their reunion in 2022 has caused quite a stir of excitement amongst fans of the genre. The band initially formed between 1992 and 1995, then from 1997 to 2001, and again from 2009 to 2011. However, they split ways for what many believed was the final time on acrimonious terms. Drummer, William Goldsmith claimed on his Facebook that their fifth record was “silenced, abandoned and buried within the murkiest depths of David Grohl’s sock drawer”. This album was later scrapped, and only a single track, ‘Lipton Witch’ was released in 2014, on a split seven-inch with Circa Survive.
The wait for new music from Sunny Day Real Estate is finally coming to an end, on top of their first live show in over 12 years, which they played in Spokane, Washington in 2022. The lineup included Jeremy Enigk, Dan Hoerner, William Goldsmith, and new bassist Chris Jordan. Fans are eagerly waiting to see what the band has in store for them after such a long break
